Our thanks to Jeff for this welcome piece. The end:
“Hegseth used the platform to slam physical fitness and grooming standards, environmental policies and transgender troops while talking up his and Trump’s focus on “the warrior ethos” and “peace through strength.”
Hegseth said the department has been told from previous administrations that “our diversity is our strength,” which he called an “insane fallacy.” [J4MB emphasis. Spot on.]
“They had to put out dizzying DEI and LGBTQE+ statements. They were told females and males are the same thing, or that males who think they’re females is totally normal,” he said, adding the use of electric tanks and the COVID-19 vaccine requirements to the list as mistaken policies.
Hegseth said this is is not about preventing women from serving.
“But when it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be high and gender neutral,” he said.
“If women can make it, excellent, if not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent, but it could be the result.” [J4MB emphasis. Long overdue. Time to do the same with the British military.]
Hegseth’s speech came as the country faces a potential government shutdown this week and as Hegseth, who has hammered home a focus on lethality, has taken several unusual and unexplained actions, including ordering cuts to the number of general officers and firings of other top military leaders.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
Good! Now evict women from the military except for support positions! They are completely incompetent in leadership positions!!

Agreed mp. And in combat positions, It’s not just about strength, but courage in battle. Women will always seek male protection in a fight, and men will provide it, at whatever risk to the mission, their colleagues etc.
I recall a BBC documentary about Afghanistan. Some female “soldiers” travelled in armoured vehicles with male soldiers to village compounds “to teach the women about the patriarchy”! Meanwhile the women’s 12-year-old sons were out in the fields with rifles to protect them.
One female “soldier” was asked what she did in the event of a firefight with the Taliban. She laughed and replied, “Oh, we hit the deck and let the boys sort it out”.
We can be very sure these “soldiers” were earning at least as much as the men, while taking lesser risks – much as female police officers and prison officers do in the UK.
